Teixeira", "José Miguel Urbano" ], "categories": [ "math.AP" ], "abstract": "We start the investigation of free boundary variational models featuring oscillatory singularities. The theory varies widely depending upon the nature of the singular power $\\gamma(x)$ and how it oscillates. Under a mild continuity assumption on $\\gamma(x)$, we prove the optimal regularity of minimizers. Such estimates vary point-by-point, leading to a continuum of free boundary geometries. We also conduct an extensive analysis of the free boundary shaped by the singularities. Utilizing a new monotonicity formula, we show that if the singular power $\\gamma(x)$ varies in a $W^{1,n^{+}}$ fashion, then the free boundary is locally a $C^{1,\\delta}$ surface, up to a negligible singular set of Hausdorff co-dimension at least $2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-01-16T02:54:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35R35", "35J75" ], "keywords": [ "free boundary problems", "variational models featuring oscillatory singularities", "free boundary variational models", "boundary variational models featuring oscillatory", "singular power" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
